Horrorgraphy are a band from Greece that plays a symphonic mixture of goth, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2018 album "Season Of Grief" which was released as a joint effort by Satanath Records and United by Chaos.
Symphonic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs along with the slow riffs being heavily rooted in doom metal while the riffing also utilizes a great amount of melody and when female vocals are used they give the songs a more operatic feeling.
All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them while death metal growls can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording along with the clean male vocals also adding in a touch of goth as well as a brief use of black metal screams being added to a few tracks.
Some of the songs are very long and epic in length while the music also has its avant garde moments at times and as the album progresses the music speeds up briefly and also introduces blast beats onto the recording along with one track also adding in a small amount of Asian folk instruments, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and they close the album with a cover of Therion's "The Rise Of Sodom And Gomorrah".
Horrorgraphy plays a musical style that takes symphonic, goth, doom and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark, depressive and occult themes.
In my opinion Horrorgraphy are a very great sounding symphonic mixture of goth, doom, and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out t his band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In A Dark Time" "The March Of Dead" "Join Me In Suicide" and "The Rise Of Sodom And Gomorrah". 8 out of 10.
